Hello Vipul ji,

Kidney stone (pathri) is a common issue, but it can become serious if not managed at the right time. Here's a simple guide for you:

Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones

  • Flank or lower back pain (sudden or severe)

  • Pain while urinating

  • Frequent urge to urinate

  • Blood in urine

  • Nausea or vomiting (in some cases)

Treatment Options (Depend on Stone Size & Location)

  1. Small Stones (Below 5–6 mm)

    • Often pass naturally with high fluid intake

    • Painkillers and supportive medicine may be prescribed

  2. Medium to Large Stones (Above 6 mm)

    • May need active removal:

      • ESWL: Shock wave therapy to break stones

      • URS: Ureteroscopy to remove stones

      • PCNL: For large stones via a small incision

  3. Recurrent Stones

    • Need dietary and metabolic evaluation
